[Bug 1986902] Re: ubuntu failed upgrade from 21.10 to 22.04

[James Cobban]

Following the advice I looked into the log files but could not see
anything that looked like an error message explaining why the upgrade
did not succeed.  This process definitely requires more explanation of
how to debug failures, since I would rather not waste the time of the
support team for something which is presumably trivial.  After removing
the Other Software PPAs I went further and also removed the application,
QGIS, which I had installed from those PPAs, and auto-removed its
dependencies.  sudo apt-get remove qgis ; sudo apt-get remove --auto-
remove qgis ; sudo apt-get purge qgis ; sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-
get upgrade

Please tell me what the upgrade is ACTUALLY upset about as just telling
me it is unhappy while leaving me with nothing that I can do about it is
frustrating.

Title:
  ubuntu failed upgrade from 21.10 to 22.04

Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I manually removed all of the PPAs in Other Software but the upgrade
  still would not complete.  Telling me to run ppa-purge but with no
  clues as to what parameters to specify is not helpful.
